• Do you have a receding hairline?
• Do you have some bald spots?
• Do you suffer from trichotillomania?

What is PRP?

PRP is a non-surgical, three-step medical treatment for hair loss. Blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. The plasma from the blood is separated from red blood cells during the processing stage. The plasma is injected into the scalp, increasing the blood supply to hair follicles, thus naturally triggering hair growth.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair Transplantation involves the excision of hair follicles from the lower back of the scalp and transplanting them into the desired problem area.

What is a scalp reduction? Tissue Expanders?

A scalp reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the bald area of the scalp by excising the skin and bringing the edges of hair together. This can help eliminate the need for hair transplantation in that area. If the bald area is too great, and the is too much tension on the scalp, tissue expanders are an option. This will be determined at the time of consultation.
